CCF Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 I really don't think that is true. I find the 16th scale forum is a lot like this message board. I know they very much appreciate your pictures. You are right there David, seems like a good few of them want to see them. Unfortunate though, you look at the other messageboards and it's different. Seems like they're only gonna take the effort to contribute their opinion to the "good" pieces made out there. Really drives me crazy the nerve of some of the people on there, seems like some just group together and will only look at eachother's posts. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have pretty much told ourselves that we weren't gonna pay them any compliments anymore. You can compliment them till you are blue in the face but they couldn't give a crap bout what you post. But like I said, the 16th scale forum has become more like this place, thanks to "Crazy Rob" bringin everyone together, I mean look at me, he even encouraged me to get my own 16th scale collection goin.

Yes, I wouldn't even think that the 16th forum would be attached to TTS in any way at the moment. The moderators don't give a hoot about reading that board seeing as that is a non-problematic board, which leaves out on our own to post as we please there. It's amazing what one person has done to motivate us all again. Hell, I was even contemplating rototilling over the space I use for the model farm to plant grass seed so i'll have something else to mow! After he came along, seems like we all got a fresh motivation to "git 'em dirty!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCF Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 FARM JOURNAL #5 As August is rolling in, work on the farm begins to speed up again from normal everyday farm activities. In this time frame, activities on the farm are taking care of the weeds in our crops, and preparing fields for crops to be harvested in the near the end of the farming season. This week, the farm's goal has been to clean out the weeds out of the three rows of onions, and preparing five rows in the field for winter squash. Because winter squash has been a good seller in the area for the past few years, the farm may be able to sell enough to make up for the crop damages during May. Here is some of the progress of the farm: Finishing cutting the lawn around the farm: Thankfully the lawn was cut before the heat of the day. The lawnmower was put away in the barn for maitinence: Due to May's rainstorms , the farm had more time on their hands than expected. As a small project, the old MM was hauled into the shop, and fixed. Though the engine could use rebuilding, the tractor is still useful for hauling wagons and small implements: Finishing cultivating the rows being prepared for winter squash: Beginning to disk the fields: Finishing weeding additional rows in the field. Several farm employees weed the fields while another drives the tractor to drop the weeds into: Dumping the weeds into a pile. The weeds will be composted and used as soil: Break time. Water is stored in jugs in the bed of the gator for employees: Luckily, the farm employees finished weeding the onions before the end of the day. If the weeds were left for as much as three more days, the whole crop may have been lost: Now that all the weeds are pulled out, the fields will be disked: Allthough time time is only four o'clock in the afternoon, the farm is already packed up for the night. Thunderstorms and rain are expected in the early evening: Hate to say it, but that's all for this week folks! Next week's journal will focus on farm machinery maintenance, and rock picking.

CCF Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Cheers lads! Scott, I put just about all of my 16th pieces on the outdoor display except for the collector editions. The tractors on the display are put in settings according to their value, detail, and really how much they are favoured! Take a look in the "Mudding at Cider Hill Farms" post, you all should be able to see which ones are favoured! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCF Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 FARM JOURNAL #6 Warm weather has been slowing down farm work immensely over the past week. Because of the lack of rain and the temperature, crops are starting to show signs of stress. Aswell as the crops showing stress, the machines are also showing signs of the heat. Tractor work can only be done in the early hours, or engine overheating may occur. Because hardly any farm workers have been showing up, the farm took most of the day to change engine oil, grease, and clean the farm machiery. Regular matinence is important, particularly for older tractors working in high ambient temperatures. After maitinence was performed, several farm employees rock picked a few rows of the fields and mowed down any large weeds surrounding the fields. Here is the farm's latest progress: Draining the oil in the John Deere 9420T: Scrubbing down and scraping carbon deposits off the John Deere 4620: Cutting down some of the larger weeds: Heading out to the field: Hooking up to the disk: Disking several rows of the field. More rocks will appear after the field has been disked: The onions are quite dried up. The farm needs some rain: Picking up rocks in the field: Dumping a full bucket of rocks in the water drainage system. The rocks should improve the dirt content of the water: The farm is all packed up by noon. The heat of the day is at about 2pm: Hate to say it, but that's all for this week folks! Next week's journal will be written by a guest writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCF Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 FARM JOURNAL #7 After promising a TTS member more pictures of the farm, I went out and took some pictures for an un-planned journal. This journal is not written by a guest writer, next Wednesday's journal will be written by a guest writer instead. After some much needed rain, the farm finally made it down to our 10 acre plot of land a few miles away from the farm to start preparing the fields for some later crops of the season. Here's what we've been up to: Loading up the farm equipment to be used: Heading out to the fields: Arriving and unloading at the fields: Tilling: Break time. The tractors are parked in the shade to cool down: Back to work. The farm employees will cultivate until 9pm when there is no more daylight: Packing up for the day. The tractors and implements are stored under a grove of trees next to the field: Hate to say it, but that's all for this week folks! Next week's journal will be written by a guest writer.
